NEW ORLEANS - 11 different members of the Carson-Newman track and field team earned a combined 14 USTFCCCA All-Region honors on Tuesday, Mar. 2.
'I'm so proud of this team," says Director of Track & Field and Cross Country David Needs. "With all the circumstances standing in the way of a successful season, our athletes rose above a limited meet schedule and not having a conference championship meet to excel. The variety of events and the success of both underclassmen and upperclassmen have us really excited for the outdoor season ahead."
Sterling Melancon and Devon Moore led the way on the men's side as both earned honors in the 60 and 200 meter runs.
